Sanctified Stumbling

Text: Romans 11:11-15. In today's text Paul makes a carefully reasoned argument in order to answer the question: why did unbelieving Israel ultimately reject the Gospel? This is a challenging portion of Romans 11, which has been interpreted in widely different ways by orthodox Christians. Is Paul contrasting Israel's current blindness with a future restoration for the nation or does he perhaps have something else in view? Join us to hear about the LORD's sanctified purpose, argument, illustration and conclusion for Israel's stumbling.
